A man and woman have been shot and killed in a Bayview home by a 23-year-old family member, San Francisco police said.

SFPD officers responded to a call for shots fired and a welfare check at 2:45 a.m. Saturday on the 1100 block of Ingerson Avenue and found the victims, a 47-year-old man and a 41-year-old woman, suffering from gunshot wounds.

Officers at the scene gave medical aid and called medics who transported the victims to the hospital for life-threatening injuries. The victims were pronounced dead at the hospital despite attempts to save their lives.

While an arrest has been made, SFPD said the investigation remains open and active.
